17° = bad day
Brrr... It was a whopping 17° when I got up this morning (-8° for our brothers not in 'The States'). Yeah, I know you Canadians don't think that's cold, but it's too early for 17° for me!
I found out I didn't have enough antifreeze mixed in with the water in my Suburban. By the time I got part way down the mountain, I saw that I was overheating. I pulled over and went to put it in park, and the stinking column broke! I can shift between the gears, but I can't pull it back to get it in park (well, I can pull it back, but whatever it's supposed to move when I do broke). It all thawed out (eventually), and I made my commute. I hope no cast iron cracked... The joys of winter. I'm looking forward to spring!

Weenies. LOL
We usually have about a week of -20 to -25 weather here in South Dakota. I think we are part of the artic circle or something. Then if the wind picks up, -100 wind chills are not uncommon. We'll usually see this around Jan or Feb. Last winter was pretty decent and we did not have a lot of really cold weather. MJ
